Health Checklist Guidance
Complete Health Checklist
Ex Libris’ Health Checklist must be completed to ensure you have sufficiently tested your live Alma and Primo VE environments.
The Health Checklist is due Friday, August 26. Please rename your checklist to include your college’s name and upload it to the Health Checklist folder in Basecamp.
Additional guidance for completing the checklist is provided below.
General Guidance
If you are not planning on using something now or in the future (e.g., acquisitions), then you may choose not to test it. In that case, please select “NA” on the checklist.
For the Primo section, only complete the Discovery Interface (Primo VE) section (p. 6-7). Do not complete the Primo section (p. 8-9).
Please report problems on Basecamp right away so Ex Libris is aware of issues.
If you have additional questions about the Health Checklist, review Basecamp Messages for Health Checklist-related questions and/or post a new question.
Additional Guidance by Section
Section | Question(s) | Additional Guidance |
---|---|---|
Acquisitions Library Activity | Are you able to create local e–resources (portfolios and e-collections)? | Please test in your IZ only. Work in the NZ is on hold until CLO Metadata Standards are available. |
Resource Management and Inventory Library Activity |
| For these questions, please test in your IZ only. Work in the NZ is on hold until CLO Metadata Standards are available. |
Resource Management and Inventory Library Activity | Did you contact your electronic material suppliers to use the Alma Link Resolver? | Electronic material suppliers are vendors that need libraries to register their new base URL, as link resolver requests are now coming from a new ILS. Reach out to vendors you deal with directly. OCLS Is looking into the need for each college to contact vendors managed via ERMA. |
Fulfillment Library Activity – Requests | Are patron-facing notices sent (e.g. courtesy notices, lost loan notices, borrowing activity letters)? | Reminder: If you opted out of some patron-facing notices through the Scheduled Jobs Spreadsheet, then you will not see those notices. |
Fulfillment Library Activity – Fines/Fees | * Are you able to export user fines, fees, and blocks to your bursar office? | If you did not complete this 3rd party integration, you can select N/A |
Fulfillment Library Activity – Resource Sharing |
| This may be turned off by some libraries. |
User Management Library Activity | Are you able to manage staff users? | Some libraries may have a second integration for staff. Others may be treating staff as Internal users. |
General Library Activity | Have you tested your activated jobs and notify your Ex Libris implementation consultant which jobs should be deactivated (if at all)? | Testing Guidance from Basecamp All requests for adjustments for scheduled jobs should be sent to Ex Libris. |
Analytics Library Activity | Applies to all questions in this section | Ensure you have the correct role for Analytics before testing. |
